CLEVELAND. May 23.-General counsel Will
hanson, of the Nickelplate and L. E. Altman.
of New York, have gone to Chicago, to
secure confirmation of the Nickel plate fore
closure sale in the Illinois courts, and when that
is accomplished will proceed to Fort Wayne
Ind, on the same errand. They will probably
also. organize new State companies at these two
points during their absence The company,
which was organized Erie, Pa. last Saturday,
is called the Erie 81 Illinois Railroad Company.
Directors were elected. and G. w. Reed, of Erie,
appointed president. The articles of organiza-
ton have been forwarded to Harrisburg for
incorporation. AS the laws of Pennsylvania
require public notice of sixty days before any
railroad company in that State can consolidate
with companies of other States. at least that
period must eapse before the Nickel plate
company, with Mr.. Caldwell as it's president
can take charge of the property. In the mean
time. the road will remain in the hands of the
receiver.

L. a. Arnold. as Chairman.

L. A. Arnold, one of Marsh
fields most prominent business
men and bankers, was unanimous
ly elected chairman of the county
board at their annual session, in
this city, last Tuesday. 1t was
thought by some that possibly he
would be partial to Marshfeld
and her interests, but we are
pleased to note that he gave entire
satisfaction in all his rulings and
decisions. His appointments were
made with an eye to equality and
fairness to all parts of the county.
His position, as chairman of the
Board, being a representative man
from that city. did a great deal
towards healing that feeling here
tofore existing between the North
ern and Southern portions of the
county. We hope this may
prove true, and that the heretofore
boon of contention between the
two sections of the county may
drop into oblivion, and peace and
united good feeling exist in place
OF jealousy and contention.

r. "A. Havenor and his School.

Several bad boys in The Centra-
liza school have caused their
teacher considerable trouble for
several months past, and it culmi-
mated the past week in sending one
of them to the Reform school
at Waukesha. 1t seems that the
prosecution of this boy has created
considerable diversified opinion in
the matter, on the part Of the busi-
ness men, some believing the pun
ishment to severe, while others be-
lieve rigid course is necessary.
We can say this for Mr.. Havenor,
that we have known him for many
years and know him to be a gen
tlemen in every respect.
a person who IS 1enient to a fault
and patient in ruling a wayward
boy. His experience as teacher
dates back for many years, and
we know he has left the best of
record as a teacher and gentleman
behind him. His past year in the
same school was fraught with ex-
cellent success, and why some of
the people are ready to stand in
his way in the discharge of his
duty in this case, we cannot under
stand. We understand that a
certain business man in that city
has circulated a petition for his
removal, on the sly, on account of
his position in this case. We are
sorry to learn that a supposed
business man would feel called
upon to meddle into the School
Boards business in this manner.
We are told that the School
Board favored the prosecution of
the boy for his own good, as he
is generally known to be mische-
vious.
No teacher of what ever ability
or standing can make e success
Of his school work, when Ton,
Dick, and Harry are NEEDING
with affairs belonging to him and
no one else. We hope the law
and order citizens Of Centralia
will stand up in support of their
teacher and give those unfuly
boys, which cause him so much
annoyance and trouble, to under
stand. that if they 60 to school
they must obey their teacher or
leave school. From all that we
can learn Mr.. Havenor's position
is right and he ought to be sup
ported.
